highfly 0 #48 December 20, 2005 Hey there Mr "lets buy a really expensive plane" skydiver of Genius......... You come up with such stupid ideas like buying a huge plane............... You think it'll cost peanuts to run............ You'll fly around all the airshows grabbing at all the women that come up to you because of your jumpsuit.................. You'll take delight in showing them around your dz.com plane......... You'll get them to stand on the bomb bay doors while you pull the lever.....................from 12,000 foot.................without a 'chute' You'll take all the girls into the cockpit and repeatedly tell them to touch your lever....................... Mr "lets buy a really expensive plane" skydiver of Genius lets take our hats off to such a wonderfully stupid idea.................................................... www.myspace.com/durtymac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
